THANK YOU ALL WHO HAD RESPONDED TO MY ORIGINAL POSTING. I KNEW AT THE TIME THE INFO I WAS SEARCHING FOR WASN'T THE V-2 BUT PICTURES I HAVE VIEWED THE ROCKET LOOKED SIMILIAR THE THE SHAPE OF THE V-2. THE INFORMATION I WAS TRYING TO OBTAIN WAS THE THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL TESTS OF A SUBMARINE-BASED LAUNCH PLATFORM FOR A ROCKET WERE FROM GERMAN U-BOATS IN WORLD WAR II USING A TOWED LAUNCH PLATFORM. THESE SPECIALLY DESIGNED ROCKETS WERE DEVELOPED TO BE LAUNCHED OUT OF A SUBMARINE AND AFTER SEVERAL TEST LAUNCHES THE GERMAN PROGRAM WAS STOPPED. THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED THE GRANDFATHER OF THE SLBM'S SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED BY BOTH THE RUSSIANS AND AMERICANS IN THE LATE 1940'S AND 1950'S.
